Embodiments herein provide reduced backhaul bandwidth requirements for Coordinated Multi-Point reception of an uplink signal. A cooperating base station receive and demodulates the uplink signal to produce soft output values that each indicate the value of a corresponding information symbol in the uplink signal and the level of certainty in that symbol value. The cooperating base station then selectively sends particular ones of the soft output values to a serving base station over a backhaul communication link based on whether or not the level of certainty indicated by each soft output value exceeds a certainty threshold. The serving base station likewise receives and demodulates the uplink signal to produce its own soft output values. The serving base station then combines respective ones of the soft output values it received from the cooperating base station and the soft output values it produced itself that are associated with the same information symbol.

In inter-site carrier aggregation (CA) mode, a user equipment (UE) may benefit from methods and systems for handling UE buffer status reports. For dual-carrier uplink control information transmission mode, for example, the user equipment can send the buffer status report only to the Pico eNode B (eNB). Then, the Pico can send the updated buffer status report to the Macro via an X2 interface so as to shift some traffic load to a primary cell (PCell) and guarantee a load balance between two eNBs. Before sending, the Pico can exclude a possibly scheduled amount on secondary cell (SCell) according to the uplink traffic load.
